Finally snagged my first MBH last night. I was beginning to think any kettle older than the 90's couldn't be found around here. It took the seller a few days to respond, and I already had given it up as sold. Then, wouldn't you know it, I got a message while throwing a steak on the performer. Considered waiting until today to pick it up, but impatience of the best of me. I ate in a hurry, grabbed the GPS, and set off.
Cost me $30 and is in really great shape. I think it may be a 1976 if I read the dating chart correctly. Hopefully I'll get time this week to clean it up (shouldn't be too hard) and give it a cook!

And a couple after taking it out of the car this morning:

No, but I know which one you're referring to. I tried to schedule a pickup for that one multiple times, but they kept changing date and time on me, and wouldn't reply for 1-2 days at a time. I finally gave up and figured they didn't want my money.
